I'm an American Army veteran that served in Iraq and now currently serving as a police officer. Through my years of service in both the military and law enforcement I have had my doubts if what I'm doing is still worthwhile or if people actually care anymore. Songs like, "I Vow To Thee My Country" remind me of why I really continue to serve. From your friends across the pond, thank you and God bless.
It's not the most hated, I get far more people thanking me for my service than those that say something hateful. It's at least 10:1 so I still feel the mass majority support law enforcement. Law enforcement in the United States is also not something you can really put under an umbrella as one entity. Don't fall for the media's trap, they're full of lies and only want to divide us to keep their ratings higher.
Between state police/troopers, municipal police, metropolitan police, county sheriffs, constables and other sworn peace officer agencies each has it's differences especially in standards.
@scott porter As a Brit and I presume you are too, keep your ignorant shit to yourself!
You have absolutely no idea what crap police officers in the USA have to put up with every single day. So shut the f*** up.
@@davidcrick1123 Thank you for saying what was on my mind. I'm also guessing that "scott porter", in addition to being full of sh**, isn't British either, he's an American millennial. Just look at the reply - grammar, punctuation and spelling mistakes. A dead giveaway of a product of the U.S. education system.
Garrett, It does matter, and your service in Iraq matters. Your service as a police officer matters too. The love of Jesus Christ brings truth and salvation into the life of a believer. Your country, and the United Kingdom are so blessed to have that foundation stone as a national religion. Stand up , be bold, and never lose sight of the truth in Jesus Christ.... Every blessing.
Stay the course and thank you. Semper Fi
I was badly wounded by an IED in a stream bank in Afghan, my friends and family played this to me when I eventually returned home from hospital. Hearing this today brought tears to my eyes, and I am not ashamed to admit it. Makes me wish I could walk again to continue serving my people, my country, and the world.
Full respect and thank you for your service
Thank You for your service and may God Bless you to help you cope. Huge respect from over the big pond!
God bless you, and your family, for your service and sacrifice. Yours, along with your mates, was a most noble calling.
My British mother's father, my granddad
Whom I never met, went down with all hands aboard HMS Exmouth in Jan. 1940. His portrait and medals hang in my Orlando home as a lasting tribute to dedication and bravery to his country.

Red white & Blue - We do love our American family.
@@alanandconnielast As we love our British cousins and warriors!
As an American of English, Scottish, Welsh and Cornish heritage I am deeply moved by this anthem
You and I might be cousins, though I have some Basque also.
Me too, my ancestor is mostly English, with small amounts of German, Welsh, Scottish, Amish from Swiss-German, My English heritage comes mostly from Pilgrims, Quakers and ordinary English immigrant populations, then many of the succeeding generations or their descendants joined the American Revolutionary War as Patriots and Continental Army, most of whom were of English descent, all of whom joined and the American Civil War in the Confederate Army, which was also where the troops were dominated by people of English heritage from southern roots. the strong one until its peak in World War 1 where many American soldiers were sent to Europe to fight German, most of the American soldiers who joined were descendants of the English who were involved in that war and played a major role in the French Argoone forest battle which at that time was surrounded by thousands of German troops. It was an unforgettable struggle to the last drop of blood carried out by one of my great-grandfathers who was involved there.
She may be gone... but forever in heart... Many vowed to her country.
God bless and may the Queen's soul rest in peace.
*God save the Queen.*
Very sad. Irreplaceable, our beautiful Queen 😥❤🙏
I'm in admiration of Queen's Elizabeth for her promise to serve England for her entire life, and she kept that promise well and truly.
She stuck around far too long. Now lets hope Charles has a much shorter stay and his son never be given the stupid title. We need a republic it should have happened when the old goat died but hey it will eventually. The whole family are corrupt so good riddens to all of them.
This is one of the first videos I came back looking for after hearing that Her Royal Highness had passed.
Rest in peace, great Queen of the United Kingdom, and great friend of the United States.
Proven fact......The Queen spawned a paedophile.
I am ex-British military, left England 46 years ago. We sang this song when I was a young kid in school in Sheffield. When I heard it tonight it brought tears to my eyes.
Greetings from Sheffield take care
Thank you for you’re services 😊❤️
Sir, you had no time to sing this song to Your kids.. it is understandeble.. I am father of 3 who was always at work to provide for the Family as it is just the way I was brought up.. just make sure that Your Grandchildren hear and learn this song from You.. and then we can depart.. our Grandkids WILL carry this song into the future...
Absolutely, me too, every time I hear it and other anthems/hymns from my days in service and civilian schools!
Respect from Yorkshire 🇬🇧
I love England. And if I were a British, I would be even more patriotic. I am American though, but still, I love England and all the soldiers who give their lives for her. I wish I could be a nurse in her army. I would help those wounded soldiers. God save England!! God save the King!!!
God save the USA also, i would gladly give my life defending America all the same as a Brit. United we stand, Divided we fall..... English world, Red White and Blue.
Sorry. Its not England. It's the UK. I'm half English and Scottish. I'm so proud of my Scottish bit.
So please don't say England. Say British.

God bless my Dad and Grandad for defending out country.
Salute from Poland.. Salute to the UK.. to our Brothers and Sisters in Arms from RAF Northolt to the Western Desert ..Tobruk, Dieppe , Atlantic, Western Approaches, chase of Bismarck, Monte Cassino, Falaise pocket.. Arnhem, liberation of Belgium and Netherlands... as it used to be ...
No sir, not as it used to be. bbAs it is, in a world without politicians.
@C M Your Squadron Sir, was attached as Air Observation Post Air Unit to the Polish 2nd Corps in Italy. Your sister unit at that time was Polish 663 Army Air Observation Post Sqn. Aircraft flown at that time were mostly Taylorcraft Auster, crew consisted of regular artillery officers trained pilots (at least in Polish case flight training took place in Cairo and Pretoria, South Africa) Shoulder badge of the 2nd Polish Army Corps was the Maid of Warsaw, worn underneath the famous 8th Army Badge - The Crusaders Cross.. Poles were part of the 8th Army since North African Campaign.. For Your service in support of the Polish Corps Artillery the Polish Corps commander gen Anders awarded Your squadron the right to display the Maid on Your shoulders.. Your Squadron flew in support of our troops all the way from Monte Cassino/Piedimonte to Ancona and Bologna on the Adriatic coast of Italy ...
@@averylittle7350 This brotherhood has been reconfirmed from the Afghan mountains to the Iraqi desert ..
@C M You did serve for same reason as they did .. for the love of Your country.. for the Poles it was impossible to return back home to the country occupied by Soviets .. hence most of them did emigrate cross the oceans to US, Canada (Air Force) and Australia, South Africa (Army from the Western Desert) I did serve with one of the Commonwealths most formidable Air Carriers and just do remember flying plane full loads of our WW2 veterans to D-day commemorations back in 1994 , 1999, 2004 .. every year their numbers were going down .. I was young at that time and today I just regret that I haven't asked them more about their experiences when I could still do so ,, but rest assured we had ALWAYS treated them with the highest respect.. from the station attendant to the Captain of the aircraft included .. All we could do was to fill up the First and Business Class with our veterans to the full capacity ..
Thank you
His Majesty's Royal Marines: In wartime, unstoppable, in peacetime the best musicians in history. No matter what this Country may face, if you do not feel this music at the core of your soul then you have no soul to save.
Let’s make Britain Great again.
make it white and proud again,,,,yes
One of the most beautiful songs in the world. Greetings from the USA!
" I vow to Thee my country " is one of the most beautiful patriotic songs ever.
The UK is one of the most fascinating countries and a force for the good of this world.
"the UK is a force for good in the world" LMAO. Good joke. This is a certified banger, but let's not pretend that Britain hasn't fucked up loads of countries by redrawing their borders. Just look at the middle east, India and Pakistan and most notably; Israel.

Oh yes! She's obviously extremely talented! ❤
I am a proud American and veteran of the United States Army While I do admit that I love the patriotic songs of my country, I am so JEALOUS that you have such a beautiful song as one of your patriotic songs. It's so beautiful with simple lyrics of love of country and God. I had the pleasure of meeting some British Army soldiers who were members of a British Army signal unit while I was stationed in West Germany. They were the sister unit of my battalion and I would have been proud to fight along side them had it came to war. God bless the British people and God save the queen from an American comrade-in-arms.
Sorry George at no point in that patriotic song is there any mention of God and for me I am offended you try to make out there is.
We are not a religious nation with less than 46% believing in any God and falling fast (It is estimated that by 2050 as few as 20% will have any religion whatsoever) and I just wish I will live long enough to see that day come. Then we can treat all religions as the cults they are.
Like many of my fellows we look at the USA in shock at what religion has done to your country and want no part of it.
One day you will follow us, until then you're a broken nation with false and terrible beliefs; God and Guns and damn the poor and sick. In the meantime bother us not with your delusion we have no use for such nonsense.
It may be a patriotic song of the UK but I'm sure I've heard Americans using it too although I can't remember why and it does infuriate me a bit that's other use this song but hey it's a song. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
@@WorldOfKnowledgeTH There are many versions of Holst's Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity from the Planet Suite one of the most famous is of course "The World in Union" which is the theme song for the Rugby Union World Cup.
I was not that interested in classical music until I heard Manfred Mann's Earth band - Joybringer in 1973, I was interested when I found out it was an adaptation of the same movement as above and so went out and bought a copy of the original Suite by The London Symphony Orchestra and from that moment my love of classical music began. I still love rock but mix it with a little of the classical notes as well.
@@WorldOfKnowledgeTH Could be, but in my 53 years in America, I have never heard it until today and only as I Vow to Thee, My Country. Beautiful to say the least.

Regards from the Czech Republic. Thanks for freedom/ support/ hope you brought to our landscape (1918, 1945, 1968, 1989)
As a German veteran (12 years in service), I always feel a little melancholy when I hear this or similar songs.
Because of our military history, it is very hard to show dedication to our service in public. Any form of military pride is always viewed with a certain amount of suspicion by politicians and the public.
Yet all I want is for my homeland to know that I would give anything for them.
You should feel proud, the Germans are considered the hardest enemy we have ever faced, you are considered the only true equal, I remember hearing men tell stories of fighting the Germans, my grandfather fought the fallshirmjaegar in Italy, he would tell me about it for my bedtime stories as a child, any british man who faced the Germans in combat is given a lot of respect.
I trained many German navy pilots in the uk. They were always beyond reproach. Learning to fly in a foreign language the where often the best
@@mikehunt8823 you are not responsible for your father’s actions never mind your grandfather’s. Be proud of who you are and the service you have dedicated yourself to.
It's fine to be patriotic today, Germany is on the side of good. Stand tall Soldier.

It's funny, as an American service member I absolutely hate taps, maybe because I've heard it at too many funerals, but this song more accurately captures what my time in the service has meant to me. I love our British allies, had a great time working with the RDG in Poland, an absolutely great unit to be partnered with.

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace

Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,
And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns;
I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
And course today we have many excellent daughters in our military who would fight just as hard as our country's sons

@@dazuk2630 that's not true at all! I'm a VERY Patriotic millennial and I've got scores of friends that feel as I do. I couldn't abide a friendship with anyone who's disrespectful to law enforcement, military, or emergency services. Unfortunately, the news only ever shows the fools. There's many more millions of us who appreciate those who've served our countries. As an American, I'm also grateful for the service of our allied nations, as well. Don't be disparaged. The news doesn't speak for all of us.
I agree, we see and hear more about the pondlife than the decent young people. Our son is serving in the RN and we couldn't be prouder.

Well done young lad! I left 30 years before you, but like you I found it all worth while.
I joined and unfortunately left during training due to crappy issues with anxiety. I retrained as a psychiatric/developmental disabilities nurse but there's also a sting of regret in me
Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
PUTS TEARS INTO THE EYES OF ANY TRUE BRIT
Many of us are not "Brits"; we are internationalists. We do not fall for this glib nonsense.
@Maryanne Kenny Ah, I wasn't including you. Huge apologies for omitting your valid feelings. There, all sorted.
Learning from this exchange: solipsistic individuals do not grasp irony. It's both hilarious and depressing.
@@chartistcochyn9995 well leave and close the door behind you!
@Maryanne Kenny with you on that! I heard my country calling!
This video made me a big fan of HM RM Bands...and Samantha McIndoe. All of you are a credit to the UK.
In the service of HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN ❤ 🇬🇧 and our beloved country......
I am an American but a large part of my heart is in the UK - the land of my forefathers.
Respect to you, the world is a small place, hope you and your family are doing well in these present times, all the best wishes from the UK. 🇬🇧👍👍😷, stay safe ❤
@@nigelgregory4777 My folks in the UK are doing fine thank you but on my end I am the last of my kind I am afraid.
I'm Australian and feel the same way
We love you ! We trust you.,our friends !
Same as myself. A proud Canadian... but I am still of the UK, the land of my fathers. :)
Beautiful. Shoutout to my neighbours. Visited England many times, and am still amazed by this friendly, wonderful people. Greetings from Denmark.

Heart Warming. Best wishes from Northern Ireland.
This song kept me from harming myself in my youth and kept me on the path I chose for myself. It reminded me of a higher purpose in life, which for me at least is to defend the innocent from the evil. From an Estonian Army soldier, thank you for this amazing piece of music!
Awesome
and today more than ever
Thanks for being here. I consider it a privilege to know of you. Your courage honors us all. Thank you. :)
An incredible rendition of this beautiful and extremely patriotic song - well done Royal Marines.
I was born in England but emigrated to the US at age 15.
I became a US citizen prior to my deployment to Vietnam in 1969. There will always be a small part of England in my heart forever.
Royal 45 Zulu 80s. A wee weep to this tune. God bless and Gods speed. x
Who ever put dislike give ya head a shake so proud to be British and former soldier love this song
Stand too and with me RN retired - shall we wobble their head!
There's just something indescribable in this piece. I cannot listen to it without getting goosebumps. Somehow the tune goes straight past your ears, directly to the soul of anyone who is remotely proud to be British.
For me, its a reminder of a place I once called home.
You are right. I am British but I miss Blighty so much and how, no matter what, we come together ..
I cannot express my gratitude to all serving men and women who keep me safe. You all deserve medals
In fact medals don't hack it. I so hope you know how much you are appreciated. 👋👋👋🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Salute to the UK military from a former U.S Navy Sailor.
May our alliance last forever.
God save the queen!
God bless the United States of America!
God bless our allies!
May the free nations of this world all stand together.
EXCELLANT
Mabuhay ang United Kingdom. (translate) Long live United Kingdom from Philippines.
Thank you
UK will not last much longer.
@@Bruce-1956 yeah Right we will see ✌🏻🇬🇧
Mahal ko Pilipinas
Thank you...from my heart!
God Bless he warriors and the sacrifices they make for our countries. We owe them much. Thank you all.
"We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."
So take a second to say: "Thank you for your service to our nation" as they pass by once in a while. They don't expect it, but they certainly deserve it. Remember as Patrick Henry said in Common Sense: "What we obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly." They pay a high price for the Freedom we enjoy
Fitting for the passing of Elizabeth II, RIP ma'am 😭
It is clear from my surname that I'm not british. However let me say how great this video is, what sense of gallantry it conveys and moreover, how beautiful the english lifestyle is! 🇮🇹🇬🇧 For ever friends! ❤️ (My profile's flag is the Piedmontese one, greetings from Turin!)
Italy ! my second favourite country, after England of course.
@@angelaregan475 Thank you Angela! 😊🇬🇧🇮🇹
Surnames are no indicator and you could still be British. There are well over 300, 000 British families with Italian names and well over 1,000,000 who's ancestry can be traced back to Rome. After all this hymn was composed by Gustav von Holtz and he like his father Adolph von Holtz were British . He only dropped the von during the war. Welcome to the club Corrado.
@@stevie8763 Thanks a lot Stevie! 👍
🇬🇧❤🇮🇹👍
As a patriot, I was tingling all over with pride!
Such an emotional song,i want this played at my funeral,and High on the Hill,RGJ
I don’t know if any of you will see this because of me walking a thin line with TH-cam but I am an American who has no love for the US but has much love of the UK in fact I looked up to her majesty and frankly I still morn her. I live and sleep under my real countries flag the UK flag. It brings me peace and reminds me of my goal on moving to the UK and this song just makes me cry more and more. Thank you so much for inspiring many.
The United States is a great country too and as a lot to be proud of. I'm glad you love my country 🏴🇬🇧🇺🇲
